Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of food machinery technology, and in particular relates to a modular automatic rotating device for an ultrasonic cake cutter. Background Technology

[0002] An ultrasonic cake maker is a new type of kitchen appliance that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to cause the internal moisture of food to rub against each other and generate heat, thus achieving low-temperature baking. It uses ultrasonic transducers to generate high-frequency vibrations, which cause the water molecules in the cake batter to rub against each other intensely, generating heat evenly from the inside out. This makes the cake dense and moist, and the low-temperature heating can lock in moisture to the extreme, resulting in a cake with a delicate texture and a taste similar to cheesecake or pudding.

[0003] In existing ultrasonic cake cutters, the rotating disk used to support and rotate the cake typically employs a complex multi-stage transmission mechanism consisting of a motor, reducer, worm gear, gears, and turntable. This rotating structure is extremely complex with numerous parts, resulting in high manufacturing costs. Furthermore, assembly and maintenance are extremely inconvenient, requiring professional personnel and tools. Moreover, the multi-stage transmission introduces gaps in the fit of multiple links, leading to reduced rotational accuracy of the turntable and affecting the cutting quality. Utility Model Content

[0020] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0021] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and the overall idea is as follows: This embodiment specifically describes the structure of a modular automatic rotating device for an ultrasonic cake cutter, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the cake cutter body 1 is included, and a support rotation mechanism 2 is provided inside the cake cutter body 1. The supporting rotation mechanism 2 includes a mounting box 3, a cake tray assembly disposed on the top of the mounting box 3, a transmission tensioning assembly inside the mounting box 3, and an automatic power assembly at the bottom of the mounting box 3; The cake pan assembly includes a pair of round rotating discs 4 and a rectangular rotating disc 5 for different cake making needs; The transmission tensioning assembly consists of a servo motor 6, a driving and driven pulley 7, three driven synchronous pulleys 8, a pair of tensioning synchronous pulleys 9, a first transmission shaft 10, a first synchronous belt 11, and a second synchronous belt 12; The automatic power assembly consists of a mounting bracket 16, a photoelectric sensor 17, and a photoelectric sensor board 18.

[0022] The entire operation process of the cake cutter is as follows: When the equipment starts, the control system first sends a command to the servo motor 6. The servo motor 6 is a type of motor that can precisely control the rotation angle and speed. At this time, the output shaft of the servo motor 6 is directly connected to the active driven wheel 7. The active driven wheel 7 transmits the rotational motion to the synchronous wheel on the first transmission shaft 10 through the second synchronous belt 12. At this time, the driven synchronous wheel 8 fixed to the outside of the first transmission shaft 10 rotates accordingly. Since the three driven synchronous wheels 8 are connected by the first synchronous belt 11, and two of the driven synchronous wheels 8 are fixed to the bottom end of the second transmission shaft 13, the cake rotating disk mounted on the top of the second transmission shaft 13 above the mounting box 3 begins to rotate. Due to the strict speed ratio between the active driven wheel 7 and the driven synchronous wheel 8, precise transmission is achieved.

[0023] In some examples, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting box 3 is composed of an upper plate 301, a surrounding plate 302, and a bottom plate 303 connected by bolts.

[0024] Understandably, the mounting box 3 is made up of an upper plate 301, a surrounding plate 302, and a bottom plate 303 connected by bolts, which facilitates disassembly by staff for quick maintenance.

[0025] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the circular rotating disk 4 is made of aluminum alloy, and the bottom of each pair of circular rotating disks 4 is fixed with a second drive shaft 13 that rotates on the top of the mounting box 3. A circular glass disc 401 and an anti-tipping rod 14 are fixedly attached to the top of the circular rotating disk 4. A circular silicone pad is fixedly attached to the top of the circular glass disc 401, and the anti-tipping rod 14 is inserted into a hole on the circular rotating disk 4.

[0026] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rectangular rotating disk 5 is made of aluminum alloy, and the bottom of the rectangular rotating disk 5 is fixed with a second drive shaft 13 that is the same as the bottom of the circular rotating disk 4. A rectangular glass plate 501 and an anti-tipping rod 14 are fixedly attached to the top of the rectangular rotating disk 5. A rectangular silicone pad is fixedly attached to the top of the rectangular glass plate 501, and the anti-tipping rod 14 is inserted into a hole on the rectangular rotating disk 5.

[0027] Understandably, both the circular rotating disk 4 and the rectangular rotating disk 5 are made of aluminum alloy, and their sides are fixedly connected to the first drive shaft 10 by screws. The circular glass disk 401 and the rectangular glass disk 501 are placed on the circular rotating disk 4 and the rectangular rotating disk 5, respectively. The circular silicone pad and the rectangular silicone pad are laid on the circular glass disk 401 and the rectangular glass disk 501, respectively, for anti-slip and cushioning. The anti-tipping rod 14 is inserted into the holes on the edges of the circular rotating disk 4 and the rectangular rotating disk 5 to prevent the cake from tipping over when rotating.

[0028] In some examples, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the transmission tensioning assembly also includes a fixing frame 15, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 303, and the servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing frame 15. The driven wheel 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 6; Two of the driven synchronous pulleys 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second drive shaft 13, and the other driven synchronous pulley 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first drive shaft 10. The first drive shaft 10 is rotatably connected inside the mounting box 3. A pair of tensioning synchronous pulleys 9 are fixed to the top of the base plate 303 by a connector.

[0029] In some examples, such as 5, three driven synchronous pulleys 8 are connected to a pair of tensioning synchronous pulleys 9 by a first synchronous belt 11, and the three driven synchronous pulleys 8 are distributed in an isosceles triangle. The driving and driven wheel 7 is connected to the first drive shaft 10 via the second synchronous belt 12.

[0030] Understandably, the transmission tensioning assembly is responsible for reliably transmitting power to each rotating disk. The active driven wheel 7 drives three driven synchronous wheels 8 through the first synchronous belt 11. The three driven synchronous wheels 8 are distributed in an isosceles triangle, with the vertex angle between 100° and 120° and the two base angles between 30° and 40°. The two tensioning synchronous wheels 9 act on the slack side of the first synchronous belt 11 to automatically adjust and maintain the tension of the first synchronous belt 11. This effectively prevents slippage between the first synchronous belt 11 and the driven synchronous wheels 8, thereby ensuring the long-term accuracy of the rotating disk positioning.

[0031] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 16 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting box 3, the photoelectric sensor board 18 is fixed to the bottom of the active driven wheel 7, and the photoelectric sensor 17 is mounted on the mounting bracket 16.

[0032] Understandably, the photoelectric sensor plate 18 rotates together with the active and driven wheel 7, and the photoelectric sensor 17 is mounted on the base plate 303 through the mounting bracket 16, with its sensing head facing the rotation path of the photoelectric sensor plate 18. When the photoelectric sensor plate 18 rotates past the photoelectric sensor 17, it generates a pulse signal. This signal is fed back to the control system to accurately calibrate and position the zero point of the rotating disk, thereby achieving high-precision indexing rotation.

[0033] The working principle of the modular automatic rotating device of the ultrasonic cake cutter in this embodiment is as follows: Servo motor 6 provides precise power, first synchronous belt 11 and tensioner pulley achieve stable transmission, photoelectric sensor 17 provides position reference for closed-loop correction, ultimately enabling the cake pan to rotate and stop with precise indexing, perfectly cooperating with ultrasonic cutting action to complete high-quality cutting.
